The body is proportional isn't it BJ? I don't see it as an issue since the whole idea is to have bulkier bait. A light jig might see some issues if the plastic floats but a 1/16 should take it down. I like the basic beavertail idea, but the outside legs would have to go. I won't use any bait with tentacles hanging all over or too much commotion behind the hook.
